[Purpose/significance] Registered report is an emerging scientific communication media that reveals the complete process of scientific research in the open science environment, and it can effectively promote the communication and sharing of the whole process of scientific research. However, the issue of whether this new publication is protected by copyright has not yet been clearly explained in academic circles, and it is important for the development of open science and the innovation of research communication mode that this issue can be clarified to help the further promotion and use of registered reports. [Method/process] By applying a combination of network research method and content analysis method, this paper analyzed the content composition of registered reports and the specificity of research types, and explored whether Registered Reports could constitute the object of copyright protection and whether they had the basic attributes of being protected based on the conceptual definition and composition elements of copyrighted works as a theoretical basis. [Result/conclusion] Registered Reports unites the intellectual achievements of scientific research activities of researchers and belongs to the scientific research products in the scientific field; As a type of scientific communication media, can advance the communication and sharing link of scientific research, enabling researchers to effectively communicate and share their scientific research ideas, which are expressed in the first stage manuscript of through text and other forms, while allowing researchers to regulate the citation of its contents with tangibility and reproducibility; The complexity of the content expression, the diversity of the content composition and the specificity of the research type of the registered Reports do not affect the judgment of its originality as a scientific research result, and Registered reports, which integrates the essence of the researcher's thoughts and hard work, is original and should be protected by copyright.
